Mediaite has a story reporting how Joe Scarborough re-acted to one Trump’s latest lying tweets:
Joe Scarborough read a few words of the tweet, before stopping himself: “You know what, no. We’re not going to read — Just take it down. What a liar. He’s lied about Arizona, he’s lying about Florida.”
“Take it down,” Mika Brzezinski said.
This should be an example for all the honest media. Yes, you need to report on Trump and his latest tweets and interviews. But you don’t need to put them up unfiltered. MSNBC drives me nuts when they show video of Trump lying outright. Stop giving him that platform. Report it more like “And in another erroneous tweet today, President Trump falsely claimed that……….. There is no evidence to support that position.”
